15 Awesome Ideas for Landscaping With Planters

Claire A, ePlanters Blog Contributor

 The outdoors is an extension of your living space, and landscaping is one of the best ways to create a beautiful outdoor area to enjoy. However, creating a cohesive landscape design can sometimes be a bit of an involved process. For those who want a faster, more economical way to spruce up a deck, patio, or outdoor area, consider a few inspirational ideas for landscaping with planters.

 
1. CREATE SOME PRIVACY

For a touch of seclusion without sacrificing that fresh-air feeling, long rectangular planters filled with tasteful greenery provide a much better option as opposed to screens or walls. Choose plants like bamboo, boxwood, or privet for dense foliage, and consider layering different heights and types of plants to enhance the natural barrier and add visual interest. Adding flowering shrubs or ornamental grasses can also bring a touch of seasonal color and texture to your living privacy screen.
 
2. ADD A PLANT BACKDROP
 
If you’re feeling a little uninspired by bare walls or fences in your backyard, consider using planters to create a colorful backdrop. Tall plants and flowering vines like clematis, jasmine, or climbing roses provide vibrant blooms and a beautiful background for impromptu photos. Simply use planters of your choice to cover unsightly areas, and include trellises or lattices to support the growth of climbers. This approach adds a touch of charm to your outdoor space, making it picture-perfect for any occasion.

 
3. LINE SOME STAIRS
 

Add interest to your exterior steps by lining them with planters, allowing you to enjoy your favorite flowers and greenery as you walk up or down the stairs. Opt for a mix of colorful annuals and perennials to keep the display vibrant throughout the seasons and arrange the planters in varying heights and sizes to create a layered effect. Consider using cascading plants like ivy or petunias to soften the edges of the steps, enhancing the visual appeal and making the stairway a delightful part of your outdoor space.
 
4. SOFTEN THE EDGE OF A PATIO
 
Adding planters to the edge of a patio can help break up the look of hardscaped exteriors. Urn planters with flowering greenery are a great way to add gentle curves to the otherwise harsh lines and surfaces of a patio. A mix of trailing plants, upright flowers, and textured foliage will add variety, draw the eye, soften edges, and seamlessly integrate the patio with the surrounding landscape, creating a cohesive and welcoming outdoor area.
 
5. CREATE DESIGNATED AREAS

Most homes have rooms designated for activities—the kitchen is for cooking, the dining room is for eating, and the family room is for gathering together. In the same way, you can create designated spaces in outdoor living areas, and planters are your secret weapon. Surround your outdoor furniture with planters overflowing with greenery to create a more intimate setting for conversation and cozy evenings. Additionally, consider using taller plants or trellised vines to act as natural dividers, separating areas for dining, lounging, or entertaining. Following this approach, your outdoor space will become an oasis that caters to your every need.
 
6. LINE A HOME EXTERIOR

If your front door leaves a bit to be desired and you want to create a more welcoming environment, planters may be your go-to. Use long trough planters to cover longer dimensions, providing a continuous line of lush plants that’ll have guests swooning before they even ring the doorbell. Don’t be afraid to mix things up for a more unique flair by incorporating abstract, modern planters in various shapes and sizes. To really wow your visitors, add a pop of color with a mix of flowering plants, shrubs, and grasses, enhancing the overall curb appeal and making your home’s exterior more inviting and aesthetically pleasing.
 
7. SURROUND COLUMNS

Columns often support necessary structures, but they aren’t always visually appealing. Surrounding them with greenery can help soften the overall landscape. Consider using tall planters with climbing plants like ivy or clematis to wrap around the columns, adding vertical interest and a touch of nature. Alternatively, use a combination of hanging baskets and ground planters to create a layered effect while integrating the columns seamlessly into the surrounding garden or patio area.
 
8. MAKE A UNIQUE WATER FEATURE
 
Create a tranquil escape in your own backyard by repurposing an old plant container to make a mini water garden, all without breaking ground. Just fill it with water and experiment with unique aquatic plants like water lilies and lotus. Imagine the tranquil vibes floating through your garden or patio—instant relaxation! It’s an easy and low-effort way to bring a touch of zen to your outdoor space.
 
9. STACK PLANTERS FOR INTEREST
 
To turn your greenery into a living masterpiece, stack a variety of planters in different sizes for a vertical explosion of color and texture. For the top tiers, let cascading beauties like ivy or petunias tumble down in a wave of green. Then, on the lower levels, add some fuller plants like ferns or begonias for a touch of contrast. This layering effect maximizes vertical space and adds diverse textures and colors to your outdoor area, creating a dynamic focal point that’ll grab everyone’s attention.
 
10. ACCENT YOUR SWIMMING POOL

If you have a pool, consider adding some greenery around the edge to soften things up, add a bit of contrast, and create a more relaxing atmosphere. But wait! It’s important to use plants that thrive in a pool environment. The scorching sun reflecting off the water can dry out plants, and pool chemicals can wreak havoc on certain greenery. Carefully research and choose hardy, sun-loving plants like succulents or ornamental grasses that can withstand the reflective heat. Planters allow you to perfectly position your plants for maximum impact, and they make maintenance a breeze.
 
11. LINE A WALKWAY
 
Ditch the boring path and create a grand entrance by lining your walkway with a variety of planters overflowing with lush greenery. Compared to alternatives like handrails and retaining walls, planters are a much more attractive option. To really impress guests at night, consider adding solar-powered lights within the planters to illuminate the walkway and add a touch of whimsy. Your walkways will be bursting with personality and setting the perfect tone for your amazing outdoor space.
 
12. DRESS UP OUTDOOR FURNITURE

Surround your outdoor furniture with a selection of planters filled with greenery and vibrant blooms. Match the planter colors to your home’s exterior and furniture for a cohesive look, but don’t be afraid to throw in some pops of color with bright flowers to add contrast and personality. Mix and match different planter sizes and styles—the more unique, the better! Place taller plants behind your seating areas for a sense of privacy and enclosure, and add some smaller plants on tables or beside chairs. Your outdoor furniture will be begging for cozy evenings spent with friends and family.
 
13. GROW AN EYE-CATCHING STATEMENT PIECE

Draw attention to your most stunning plants by giving them a place to shine against the rest of your landscaping. Choose bold, eye-catching planters to highlight the beauty of your feature plants. Think strategically and position these statement pieces to create focal points that captivate and elevate your space.
 
14. ADD VISUAL APPEAL TO RAILINGS

For those craving a touch of nature but are limited on space, deck rail planters are the perfect solution. Simply fill them with greenery or colorful flowers and hang to add visual appeal to your outdoor space. Additionally, they can enhance the overall design by complementing other planters and outdoor decor, creating a harmonious and inviting environment.
 
15. CREATE A GROUPING

Instead of scattering planters around your space, draw attention to select sections by creating groupings of brightly colored planters in different heights and sizes. Use a mix of tall, medium, and short planters to add depth and variety, making your landscaping anything but boring. Place these groupings in key areas like seating zones or near entryways to create visual highlights. To really impress, select plants in contrasting colors and textures to create an explosion of visual interest that’ll elevate your entire outdoor space.
Landscaping with planters is one of the quickest and easiest ways to create an outdoor space you actually want to spend time in. All you need is a planter, some potting mix, and a few plants, and you’ll have your space transformed in no time. This approach allows you to embrace your creative side and experiment with different plant combinations and arrangements. Whether you’re aiming to create a serene retreat or a vibrant entertainment area, planters offer a versatile solution that can be tailored to any style or preference.
